In space, astronauts don’t have gravity to keep them in place. That makes doing even simple tasks difficult. Gene Cernan was the

first astronaut who worked on a task outside a spaceship. He said of the experience, “Every time I’d push or turn a valve, it would turn my entire body at zero gravity. I had nothing to hold on to.” As he worked, Gene Cernan’s heart rate and temperature went so high that his fellow astronauts worried that he wouldn’t survive.
Think about routine tasks that astronauts might need to do inside and outside a spaceship. Choose several tasks, and describe the features the ship and spacesuits should have to account for zero gravity as the astronaut completes the task. Use Newton’s laws of motion in your analysis.

A plane has a mass of 360,000 kg takes-off at a speed of 300 km/hr. i) What should be the minimum acceleration to take off if th
melomori [17]

Answer:

i) the minimum acceleration to take off is 22500 km/h²

ii) the required time needed by the plane from starting to takeoff is 0.0133 hrs

iii) required force that the engine must exert to attain acceleration is 625 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of plane m = 360,000 kg

take of speed v = 300 km/hr = 83.33 m/s

i)

What should be the minimum acceleration to take off if the length of the runway is 2.00 km

from Newton's equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we know that a plane starts from rest, so; u = 0

given that distance S = 2 km

we substitute

(300)² = 0² + ( 2 × a × 2 )

90000 = 4 × a

a = 90000 / 4

a = 22500 km/h²

Therefore,  the minimum acceleration to take off is 22500 km/h²

ii) At this acceleration, how much time would the plane need from starting to takeoff.

from Newton's equation of motion;

v = u + at

we substitute

300 = 0 + 22500 × t

t = 300 / 22500

t = 0.0133 hrs

Therefore, the required time needed by the plane from starting to takeoff is 0.0133 hrs

iii) What force must the engines exert to attain this acceleration

we know that;

F = ma

acceleration a = 22500 km/hr² = 1.736 m/s²

so we substitute

F = 360,000 kg × 1.736 m/s²

F =  624960 N

F = 625 kN

Therefore, required force that the engine must exert to attain acceleration is 625 kN

leva [86]

The acceleration of this item will remain constant if I double the force and double the mass.

<h3>What does acceleration mean ?</h3><h3 />

The rate at which a moving object's speed and direction change over time. When something moves faster or slower, it is considered to be accelerating. Motion on a circle accelerates even while the speed is constant because the direction is always changing.

  • If an object is accelerating and moving in the appropriate direction, it has positive acceleration. The speeding automobile in the first scenario showed positive acceleration. The car is moving forward and accelerating in the same direction as the acceleration.

Distinguish between a converging lens and a diverging lens.
andriy [413]

Answer:A converging lens is thickest in the middle and causes parallel light rays to converge through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens. A diverging lens is thinner in the middle and causes parallel light rays to diverge away from the focal point on the same side of the lens.
